Sefton-EP91 Posted January 9, 2016 Share Posted January 9, 2016 I need to know if there is any other way to get the oil gauges plumbed up to my car without the use of and sandwich plate. I gave it a try today but just kept looking at how the wiring has to be routed etc and I don't like it at all! Also, I cannot get my intake pipe onto my turbo with the sandwich plate fitted! I've had a quick search on the search bar and all the links to parts needed are broken links! Thanks for any help in advance! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Arnold Posted January 11, 2016 Share Posted January 11, 2016 t pieces in the oil pressure sensor hole will be your only option then Yeah, I've been looking at this. You can get the remote oil pressure sensor like this (http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/151592997575?_trksid=p2060353.m1438.l2649&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT) It goes in the front right hand section of the engine Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Arnold Posted January 11, 2016 Share Posted January 11, 2016 (edited) Temperature can be obtained here I believe. Is this where you meant? Edited January 11, 2016 by Arnold Quote Link to post Share on other sites
akyakapotter Posted January 11, 2016 Share Posted January 11, 2016 yep same adapter for water temp if on glanza take the blank out the thermo housing Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Martingdavies1985 Posted February 29, 2016 Share Posted February 29, 2016 What do I need to do to hook oil temp Upto the standard housing? Where do I get the bolt & cable from for the gauge? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Stu Posted March 7, 2016 Share Posted March 7, 2016 You can weld a bung onto the sump and run a temp sensor there - fit it on the firewal side for easier/tidier wiring. And as mentioned above for the oil pressure you can run from the factory oil light location using a tee. I can't remember if its Fragola or XRP that make a specific fitting thats metric male into the block, metric female for the factory sensor straight out, and an imperial 1/8npt thread for the aftermarket sensor out of the side. If you make the tee up using brass fittings make sure you use a steel male/male straight fitting into the block. Ive seen brass male fittings snap from vibration in the past - messy and tragic...

Charlie28 Posted March 7, 2016 Share Posted March 7, 2016 Just to hijack this thread slightly, where is the best place to take a 12v power supply for the gauge? as on my oil temp/pressure gauge it says to not to splice into the head unit wiring? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Stu Posted March 7, 2016 Share Posted March 7, 2016 You could just run a new feed off the ignition barrel on the ON circuit. Remember to include a fuse. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
